So I have this Milk Frother for my wife's "Morning Cappuccino Adventure" that satisfies her pretty picky needs for Soy Cappuccino's. This little guy says it draws 600w, can't find anything regarding ...

You know, sometimes people can really hurt themselves getting too far over their head with 110v systems when dealing with inverters and converters. The easiest answer for most people when dealing with an inverter is to keep it simple.
-Place inverter as close to battery(s)
-Connect to battery(s)
-Use a 10 or 12ga extension cord and route to intended area that will provide the highest use potential (kitchen)
-Cut off plug end of extension cord and create a 110v gfci outlet at that location
The dirty little secret is the complication factor of having to turn off all your unintended 110v draws (12v converter, water heater, space heater, refrigerator..etc) sources so that your not tripping your inverters circuit breaker. About the third time of doing just that, you'll wish you kept it simple and made a "special" outlet labeled INVERTER. You can plug in your coffee pot, microwave or whatever. No accidental breaker pops, heck anyone in the camper can use it, and it's idiot-proof. My last very important suggestion...make dang sure whatever you get, that it has a remote on and off switch.

I installed this one and it's terrific. This is the second unit I've installed and the second camper.
